CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22: ARE YOU SEDUCING ME?

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Ethan Sterling walked into the room unhurriedly, fiddling with his watch.

Even the simplest of actions, when performed by him, seemed so elegant and dignified.

"What are we going to do!"

Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman followed behind him, both silently praying in their hearts.

Ethan finally entered the room, carefully observing the furnishings.

This was the first time he so thoroughly examined Seraphina Redgrave’s living space.

The room’s lights were off, and there was no sound at all.

Even the usual sounds of breathing while sleeping were absent, making it seem like no one was in the room.

Ethan found the switch by the wall, and with a "click," the room was suddenly bright as day.

The room was his cherished minimalist style, black and white sharply contrasted, with Seraphina Redgrave’s bed prominently placed in the most noticeable spot.

Underneath the gray blanket, a small face was exposed, and it was unmistakably Seraphina Redgrave.

Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman, who had been holding their breath, finally relaxed — fortunately, the crazy woman was really asleep.

Ethan stared at the woman sound asleep; even in slumber, she was restless.

One foot stuck conspicuously out of the blanket, hanging over the side of the bed, and he had no idea how she could sleep in such an odd position.

Ethan approached the head of the bed, gazing at Seraphina’s sleeping profile, and suddenly, in a mischievous gesture, pinched her cheek.

"Little one, you escaped quickly! Already asleep?"

Seraphina silently retorted a hundred times in her mind, but felt helpless against Ethan, and could only pretend to be dead, unmoving.

Seeing her still feigning sleep, Ethan couldn’t resist the urge to tease her, boldly sitting directly on her bed.

First, he toyed with her hair, then tapped her little face, intent on disrupting her rest.

After a long time—

Seraphina finally had enough of his harassment and slowly opened her eyes, still sleepy.

"Had enough sleep? Then come eat with me."

Before Seraphina could refuse, Ethan had already pulled her directly out of bed.

Seraphina was utterly bewildered—Ethan had actually dragged her out just like that!

"Don’t move around!"

Ethan suddenly knocked her on the head, catching Seraphina by surprise.

"Want me to deal with you on the spot? If you have plans against me, just say so, you don’t have to seduce me like this!"

He pinched Seraphina’s cheek as punishment, "Keep moving, and I won’t promise to let you go!"

Recalling the conversation she overheard between Ethan and Nathan Ayers while hiding in the trunk, Seraphina obediently stopped fidgeting, knowing that Ethan, when provoked, recognizes no kin.

Ethan, without another word, led Seraphina directly into the living room.

Nathan Ayers was a bit puzzled—how had this crazy woman provoked President Sterling again?

The living room had a classical elegance, starkly different from Ethan himself.

Ethan had no compassion for the fairer sex and threw Seraphina directly onto the sofa. Caught off guard, Seraphina suddenly found herself seated on the hardwood sofa.

Endure!

She endured!

Retribution will come, just not yet.

One day, Seraphina Redgrave would fiercely reclaim all these losses from Ethan Sterling, with interest.

Ethan sat on the sofa directly opposite her, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Seraphina.

Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman standing by felt a chill, but the subject showed not a hint of fear.

They seemed to be playing a game where the first to speak would lose.

After a long while, Ethan grew tired of this childish play and directly summoned Nathan Ayers—

"Bring everything over here, we’ll eat here; she’s hungry."

Ethan suddenly thought of something, turning his head to look at Nanny Lynch. "Has she been eating well before?"

Nanny Lynch was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. "Yes, yes! The young lady has always been well-behaved, never causing trouble at meal times."
